What Is Roon?

In the most basic terms, Roon is a subscription software service that manages music streaming. You may think, "I've already got Spotify and Deezer, why would I need another subscription?" But the truth is, Roon is different. It's built to be the single interface you need for all of your streaming, from online services to your private collection of digital music and more.

Roon doesn't just give you access; it automatically organizes and arranges your music by category, artist, and more. Once you've installed the software and it has organized your collection, it will also use the internet to fill in the blanks. Roon automatically delivers content such as album art, liner notes, background information, recommendations, and more, and displays it all on a single, easy-to-use interface. Best of all, it will make a note of duplicates and find the highest quality available in your library for a seamless listening experience.

Plus, it features native integration with lossless streaming service Tidal so that you can keep all of your tracks together in one place.

You can download Roon on your Windows, Mac, or Linus device, or use the Roon-exclusive hardware, Nucleus, to get the most out of your system. At $199 yearly or $499 lifetime, you can continue to add to your collection for decades with ease.

Roon: The Essentials

Built by the same software engineers behind the Bloomberg trading platform, Roon started life as Sooloos. Meridian purchased that company in 2008 and eventually developed into its own entity in 2015. Today, Roon is a collection of hardware and software that makes music streaming easier than ever.

Along with the Roon app available for your smartphone or tablet, you can also enjoy a series of products denoted Roon Ready and Roon Tested. “Ready” means the devices are capable of integrating with Roon’s platform. “Tested” means the device features a native Roon DAC. Along with Meridian products, Roon integrates with popular wireless audio manufacturer Sonos, as well as a host of others.
